1. Preheat the ove to 375 F. Grease a cookie sheet; set aside. Chop 4 oz. of the baking bar;set aside. In a saucepan, melt remaining 4 oz. of the baking bar (I microwaved it and it worked fine...just don't overheat it or it gets chunky).2. Beat butter about 30 sec. Add sugar, baking soda and salt. Beat until combined. Beat in eggs and melted baking bar untili combined. Beat in as much flour as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour. Stir in the 4 oz. of chopped white baking bar.3. Dro dough from rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart onto prepared cookie sheets. Bake in preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes or until cookies are lightly browned around edges. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute. Transfer cookies to wire racks; cool.4. Just before serving, in a saucepan melt jam over low heeat. Spoon about 1/2 t. jam atop each cookie. In a heavy saucepan melt 3 oz. white baking bar and shortening over low heat; stir constantly. Drizzle cookies with melted mixture.

I just melted the white choc. which was kinda strong. I think next time I'll drizzle a cream cheese type frosting on top so it won't be so rich. I also used a LOT more jam...it was better that way...more fruity. Other than that, these cookies are SO good.

Welcome!

As you may have noticed, our blog's URL doesn't exactly roll off the tongue. "Zum Fressen" is German for "to eat." We grew up with a German Mom who cooked dinner every night, from scratch. We all grew up with a love to cook, but an even greater love to eat! We originally started this blog as a place to post all our family favorite recipes... the ones we would call eachother for every other week. We wanted them all in one place. Since then, it's turned into a place to share our favorite new recipes, too. We sort through all the recipes we come across and post only those that worked well and that we LOVE. Hopefully, you'll find a new favorite, too. Thanks for stopping by!
